:laugh: I seem to have built a reputation for myself... :satisfied:

I had this one wrong as well. Partially because I don't work with SQL Server 2008 yet (I do have it installed on a laptop, fopr "play" purposes), and partly because I misread the question.

The answer is hidden in the explanation. You can configure different colors for the "query window" (which I knew - that's why I selected "true"), but you cannot configure the colors for "the status bar in SSMS".

This last status bar obviously refers to another status bar than that of the query window. I don't know which status bar, though, and I can't check if it's true. But even if it is, the correct answer should have been "it depends" - since the query window sits within SSMS, you can obviously configure colors for some status bars in SSMS.
